I am so overloaded it's almost meltdown time. I'm the worse, but Mary is also stressed to the max. It seems like one thing after the other to be solved. A couple of days ago I walked in full outfit pushing hard with the trekking poles. It felt so good and I felt strong but when I got home my back began to cramp and next my back started hurting like I was starting a new bout of bad lower back/buttocks/leg pain. I began stretching all parts of my back and legs like a crazy man to keep ahead of it and I have been fighting it ever since. I got a deep tissue massage from a very good lady on Wednesday. Now we are all about stretching and stretching. Got to stay ahead of it. Have another message Saturday morning before I fly in the evening.
Today we put the pack together in the final configuration and then after weighting it we started taking it apart and throwing things out. Third pair of pants, 3rd shirt, 3rd set of underclothes, and more, all are gone! Then I went looking for my puffer which I am sure I saw recently. Obviously I don't use it much any more but I want it for insurance. Gone! The doctor's office is not open tomorrow; run around and melt down time. But we have a Dr. friend here at LV who was willing to get me one. Trying to relax, stretching out and keeping my emotional self under control. Nice thing of being older is that I know that each new crisis will also pass and be solved. But, the nights are getting longer.
